I know this would be expensive but, If we utilized all the technology we could to recharge batteries for an electric car, what kind of range could we really get? Regenerative breaking, Thermal coupling around heated parts, Soloar panels wraped around intire vehicle inclosed in a leighweight traslucent covering, etc, etc.

Electric-in,electric storage and electric use means an all electric car. I see this word-’hybrid’ applied wrongly, in to many ways,among the media. I see how hybrid might describe an all electric if a solar panel,mounted on the car, contributes to it’s effectiveness.What I don’t see is how a wind/solar fed power grid gives an all-electric plug-in car hybrid status. Seams to me that toyota and honda really want to confuse us on the matter to limit thier losses in an all-electric conversion. To think that these two powerhouses have little influence, in this reguard, is a serious mistake .
I understand the current gasoline/electric japanese offerings; do you understand a pure electric offering such as made by Tesla motors? You really need to understand what hybrid infers.

How much does insurance go up if you add a 17 year old with a learner's permit to your plan. I live in Florida and have Electric Car Insurance.

If an electric car has less moving parts than a regular combustion engine based vehicle, then how does it get to be more expensive?

If we are wanting to lower emissions on this planet, then shouldn't there be a manufacturer out there who can make a affordable electric vehicle?

I want to build a ERA Cobra but want to make it an EV – Electric car. I saw en electric Cobra in a magazine built by some guy but where can you get the motor?

Part 2 of Electric Car. I had to break it up into 3 parts to even publish the dang video.

I saw on the internet that there's a company that makes a kit that turns hybrid cars into plug in hybrids. I think I read those modified hybrids can then go up to 30 or 40 miles on electric power alone. Given, those kits cost about 00. Here's my idea…. If a company can build a kit like that to upgrade an existing car, why can't one of the big automakers build an electric car that goes 30-50 miles on a charge? They just have to market it as a "30-50 mile a day" car because there's always those people that whine "but you can only go 50 miles….". What percentage of the population actually drives more than 50 miles a day – maybe 10%? That means the "50 mile a day car" is useable by 90% of the driving population (other than people who use pickups, but they could make those too). Plus, electric cars are much simpler which means they're more reliable and less expensive to manufacture. I guess my question is why doesn't any of the big car companies build one already? Who agrees with me?
Yeah, the batteries take up alot of space – so? Build the car in such a way it can accommodate those the battery. And I'm not taking about HYBRIDS – I'm talking about a strictly ELECTRIC CAR.
I don't think "hondab" can read – I said 30-50 miles a day. And those kits I mentioned, it said it would raise your electric bill 65 cents a day…
And that 0,000 figure the big car companies threw out there – I'm sure that was for a car with a 200 or 300 range. Make one that only goes 50 miles a day….. I know it can be done for less than ,000.

lets say i already have the car, what would be a good plan to go by?

any tips? any help to get me started?

thanks
yea, electric car's can't be AS hard as people say, i've seen video's of teenagers doing conversions themselves…

my friend got a nitro buggy, max speed 55mph ,,,the electric car i have is max at 15mph so leaving me with a 40mph gap that i need to cover,,give me some ideas..this is the type of car i am planning on using http://www.thesource.ca/estore/Product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=RCCars&product=6018720
Also how can i add more battery packs without burning out the rc chip and electronics,,,and i know its next to impossible to beat a nitro with regualer rc electric cars like these but i have made electric cars preety fast in the past but this time its gonna take more power to beat the competion help me out,,,and suggest other things i already know about brushless motors

My last question asked about full electric cars, well this leads me to another question.If a half and half car can power up the battery part while the vehicle is coasting to a stop.Then surely an all electric car with 2 power plants can basically charge itself up meaning you would never have to stop.
